Franz Ferdinand are utterly wank. I went to see them in Bradford with a couple of mates years ago and I’d gotten them mixed up with the Scissor Sisters. Worst gig ever for me

I thought they were Scottish rather than from Eastbourne though?

I always thought there should have been an FF covers band named Gavrilo Princip. Welsh corner: Moderately successful 90s bands who should should have been massive: Super Furry Animals and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. Massively successful 90s band who were utter wank: Stereophonics. |

That’s weird. This popped into my brain on the drive down to the south coast: For reasons unknown I always assumed GG were all Welsh. Seems they are from London and Scotland, apart from John Patrick 'Pugwash' Weathers. |

Simon Dupree And The Big Sound developed into Gentle Giant. Their 1967 single, 'Kites' remains a very strong favourite of my aspirational hippy years. Scottish footnote: two of the three Shulman brothers were born in Glasgow; the third in Portsmouth. Of Scottish-Jewish ancestry. |
